Resolution on Senate/Union Faculty Cooperation

12-05-05

Attachment #1

Whereas, The Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (ASCCC) has already issued a call for local senates to "work with their local collective bargaining agents" to resolve part-time pay issues ("Part Time Faculty: A Principled Perspective," Spring 2002); and

Whereas, the ASCCC has already called for "comparable pay for comparable work" for part time faculty, an item usually considered economic – e.g. the realm of the bargaining units and not the senate; and

Whereas, The ASCCC "recommends that local senates work with their collective bargaining agent to provide compensated office hours"; and

Whereas, The Grossmont College Academic Senate has already passed a resolution supporting paid office hours for part time faculty;

Whereas, The ASCCC has called for "part time faculty participation on standing or ad hoc committees, as well as, providing appointments to system advisory committees" and recognizes the "importance of part time faculty involvement in governance" ("Participation of Part Time Faculty on the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges," Fall 1998);

Resolved that the two standing senators, who are elected as part time representatives for the senate be vested with the authority to interact on behalf of this senate with all applicable United Faculty representatives to discuss the issues of pay equity, paid office hours, and other similar issues as they apply to part time faculty.
